Inner Wood Country Conquest

Joshua 17:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 17 in context

Scripture Focus

15And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
Joshua 17:15

Biblical Context

Joshua urges expansion beyond a cramped state, telling them to move into the wooded interior and confront the giants there. The outer conquest follows from the inner shift in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us speak in the I AM, not in the letter of conquest, but in the inner act that makes all outer events possible. The wood country is your hidden realm of awareness, the place where you imagine and thereby create. The Perizzites and the giants are the fears and limiting beliefs you have allowed to rule your sense of self. Mount Ephraim, a narrow and confined outlook, represents the small, separative self you have accepted. Joshua's call to rise into the wood country is a call to revise your sense of self from limitation to greatness. When he asks, 'If thou be a great people,' he is proclaiming the truth of your being: the I AM within you is capable of vast expansion. To cut down those giants is to revise them by assuming a new state of consciousness and feeling it real. Begin to dwell in the posture of one who already possesses the victory, and you will see the external world align to reflect that inner transformation. Conquer the inner field, and the outer land will answer in kind.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: 'I am great.' Close the eyes, enter the wood country in your imagination, and declare that giants have fallen. Feel the relief of their absence and carry that state back into your day.
